With all of the cookies and other sweets during the holidays it is always nice to change things up a bit and go with something savoury! You can never go wrong with a hot cheese dip whether you are throwing a party or just wtching the game and I knew exactly which hot cheese dip that I wanted to try at my next party. I came across this
chorizo queso fundido
on
Smells Like Home
a while ago and I have been wanting to make it ever since. I mean just look at the ingredients, with all of that melted cheese, spicy chorizo and even a hit of tequila it was bound to be awesaomely addictive! I did make one important change to the recipe be using fresh Mexican style chorizo rather than cured Spanish style chorizo as I have really been into it lately and I knew that it would work well in the dip. This chorizo queso fundido is definitely a keeper and it will dissapper faster than you can blink so eat your share while still in the kitchen or better yet hide out in a locked room; you didn't really want hear any more about aunt Thema's warts anyways.

I'd head straight to this cheese dip and forget all about anything sweet offered at a party! I've just downloaded your e-book and was wondering if it can be saved in a PDF file on my computer. Could you give me some guidance on this? Thanks Kevin.

Thank you! Not really a huge sweets fan, so this was a nice click today! And how great does it look? I would never have thought to use tequila in a dip - interesting. Love your blog, by the way - ended up here by way of your Christmas fruitcake which I have marinating in the fridge right now!

Roz P. The eBook is a pdf and you should be able to save it. I am not sure which email client you are using but if it is a web based client you should be able to right click on the link to the eBook and "Save as". If you have the eBook open there should also be a menu option to save the file. If you have any problems, send me an email at kevin@closetcooking.com.

This dip looks delish. What gives it the orange color? In my neck of the woods, Monterey Jack is white. Just wondering. I don't see anything in the list of ingredients that would seem to color the dip so vividly. Thanks much. Going to give this a try.

This dip looks awesome, Kevin! After a huge cookie baking day yesterday, I've been feeling the sugar overload, so I appreciate the savory recipe this time of year. This is perfect for easy holiday entertaining! (...or for eating dip for dinner, whatever). :)

I love your blog - it is one of the rare good and active ones around. I made this for the superbowl- so delicious. It got a little stiff though. I would do it again with a roux base to stabilize. Very very yummy.

For the question on the orange color, the Mexican chorizo imparts this color. Here (Atlanta) we can get it in casings or just as a block - like hamburger but spicier- which is much more convenient. Some Rotel spicy would add a bit to this recipe.
